Summary:
Zip code 96101 in Alturas, California, is served by four public schools within the Modoc Joint Unified district, covering grades K-12 for approximately 763 students in this rural community.
The schools show distinct profiles when compared. Modoc High stands out with the strongest overall results, including a 93% graduation rate and no dropouts. Alturas Elementary is showing improvement, has the best attendance, and leads in mathematics proficiency for the district. Modoc Middle has the highest English proficiency but faces significant challenges in mathematics. Warner High is a very small school with outdated performance data and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism, suggesting it serves a distinct, at-risk student population.
